~ Search, Eatout Reviews, Deals & Discounts, Menus…!

Monthly Archives: February 2009

Again its late in the night and we are searching for food, yes exotic food jaded with all the fancy places we holed out to the tight little streets that offshoot from fancy busy markets. We had affirmative information about this Daal/Chawal place in Main Market and we were going to find it and so we did. Eyeing spying and interrogating bystanders we finally reached our destination just opposite K.M. Store in a street just beside an optician there it was ‘Sabir Daal Chawal’ with a sweet little board naming its brand.
We sat behind the man hosting the huge dishes. The moment we settled our eye caught the rate list right on the wall, not something to worry about at all and still you are promised good food and we immediately put this promise to a test. We order ourselves, daal/chawal with a tikki, we didn’t have much choice on the menu although you can add a boiled egg for your liking, along with clear sodas. The very first bite everyone looked at each other and confirmed the good taste. Just as we were informed, it was really delicious and yes to mention here very hygienic as well. Imagine a plate of boiled white rice with daal topped with pickled salad and a potato tikki along with chatni, easily makes your mouth water just as it is doing for me while I mention this all. I think it was a great casual meal that’s not at all heavy on the pocket neither importantly on the health and plus you get to have a good time and the feeling of dining out. Its something we would recommend to people not living with their families to have everyday even, honestly its that good.

After seeing its appetizing logo on tossdown.com we set out to hunt this place down. Having heard its one of the oldest fast food places in Lahore really added to the thrill. After a bit of a fumble we hit right where it was (behind the govt quarters on the famous chaborji chowk). Let me add we asked a couple of other people before actually going there and to our surprise we ran into some hardcore fans of the place saying they have been eating KB Burgers since their childhood.
As the name suggest this eatout only offers burgers & sandwiches with the menu being dominated by beef. Most of us ordered beef as for me I had to try chicken and so we divided a couple of double beef & double chicken amongst ourselves. The food prepared quick enough and so we sat upon it. The burgers looked typical of the Lahori style burgers which do have something peculiar about them i.e. they are bit on the desi side. Now the first few bites put my buds to skepticism and we finally decided upon the fact that people from this part of Lahore have their own taste and then in the next few moments the topic was the hottest on the table upto the point of us opening our burgers. We have to be careful when our word becomes public. Hence, deciding upon the myth and terming it delicious. The ambience was tidy and the food had its own unique taste that might not hit you the very first time but having seen packs of people eating burgers we were convinced on the notion of coming back to the place as soon as we can. We recommend a visit it’s something you have to try atleast once if you are living in Lahore.
